With all this recent talk about white nationalism being a motivator for shootings, it does make you wonder about others.
For example, has anyone ever said that this Fort Hood Shooter was motivated by radical Muslim theology? It seems that we’re not allowed to call out Muslim Terror by name, but we are allowed to talk about white supremacist Terror by name.
So what’s the deal so what’s the deal? Why is it in some cases we are allowed to talk about motivations of terrorist or shooters, and then other cases we simply don’t officially know what the motivation was?
The "deal" is that Obama was president when this guy shot up Ft. Hood in 2009. He and his administration would not criticize Muslims, no matter what they did. So calling his actions Muslim terrorism was a no-no.
But I bet Trump doesn't have the same reservations about calling this guy a Muslim terrorist who infiltrated the US military to kill US soldiers.
Just my guess.
